Yes.. to a degree.. I have never blamed all men for what a few men did to me... I didn't blame all women for what my own mother did to me either.. ( she sexually abused me as well)

And I have always known in my heart that I deserved love and happiness as well as peace of mind... getting there hasn't been easy.

I have a lot of healing still do to. .but what saved me through the years of abuse in part was believing there was soemthing better for me in life... and I still hold that thought now...

I am in a loving relationship and I have 2 beautiful sons, one 22 one 16.... precious grandkids to enjoy.. and hope for what lies ahead.... I have to keep that faith.. which is why the screen name.. Faith is alive in my heart...
